Random wake ups - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Is there a way to tell why my phone wakes up seemingly randomly? Whether it's charging or not, it just wakes up, says "Finding Location" (which is usual), and then re-locks. No other notifications or icons...

Alerts prevent xda from shutting down

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem with my xda:
Every alert orevents the phone from switching off the light and switching off at all. Only after I click on "close", everything works fine.
The big problem is, when an alert pops up at night, the light stays active til' I confirm the alert and so the battery gets empty.
Is there any idea what's causing this problem?
THX,
MatMike
Its a windows setting...
Yes, I found this too. You need to switch off pretty much all of the alerts in Windows. I found the 'low battery' warning the worst. My battery goes fairly low, then in the middle of the night an alert pops up telling me the battery is low, and the screen stays on until you turn it off, or more likely the battery goes totally flat -doh! Anyway you need to go to "Start", "Settings" "Personal" "Sounds and notifications" and go through all of that list in Notifications to stop them switching the screen on etc. Great set of defaults hey!lol

Different kind of notification issue

I recently installed the day light savings patch to my cingular 8525 so I don't know if this has anything to do with it. However, my pre-set alarms now will chime when they're supposed to, but the "notification" in the bottom left hand corner does not come up. Now, the alarm goes on and on until I turn the phone off for a short period of time. Even then, sometimes the alarm continues to ring, maybe until it times out. But I can't seem to turn off my alarm.
Anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?
I've noticed that if I turn off ALL of my alarms that it no longer does this (no alarms to come on!) but the secondary issue is then I no longer get notices when my meetings are about to start. So either I get notification for when my meetings start and every morning I struggle with turning my alarm off, or I get no notices whatsoever.
The missed calls and text message notifications are working normally.

Random Vibrations

My phone will vibrate in my hand/pocket as if it is receiving a notification but nothing comes in. I go and check all the apps but nothing. It's always a quick double vibration. Is there a way to see which so is causing it? I have had Wakelock installed for awhile but am not sure what to look for.
So it appears that the phone is switching to vibrate on its own. I have no apps that are setup to change the volume nor do I have quite hours. Any suggestions?

Home button randomly registering presses.

I have a problem with my S8. After locking my phone it randomly vibrates and turns screen back on asking to unlock (enter passcode or scan fingerprint). Sometimes this happens right after locking and other times after 5 seconds when my phone is already placed on the table. When I unlock the phone there is no notification. I can't seem to find out whats causing this. This is not always (but most of the time) happening though, its really random.
Checked internet. Checked Reddit. No apps enabled in accessibility. Smart Alert disabled.
Its driving me nuts, please help out.
EDIT: When removing passcode the phone unlocks itself to the lockscreen. Just happened after 15 seconds when laying flat on the table. Should I leave my house??? haha
EDIT2: Seems like the homebutton is registering presses. When 'Unlock with homebutton' is on it go's straight to the homescreen when above happens and when its off it turns on and just shows lockscreen. Really strange..
@MOD: please close this thread

Doze acting weird or missing a setting

I installed Linaege on my 6P, once I lock the screen the phone seems to become disconnected forr the internet or stops pushing notifications.
when I receive a message it wont pop up unless i turn on my screen, the exact same second i turn on my screen i receive my messages, while being at the lock screen.
Does anyone have a clue, i never had this problem on stock before as I can remember.
